Default F-sport wheels on ISF
Might be picking up a set of F-sport wheels for a good price for my winter wheels for my ISF but we all know about the F-sport rims fitting the ISF, the fronts fit but the rear doesn't clear the calipers, would a spacer work for the rear to clear the bbk? Also does the F-sport rims have indentations on the rear to work with wheel spacers? If so how big of a spacer would I need? If anyone knows and can help that be great.


Thanks,


Andy

love your idea of getting the F sport rims, but it is kind of a downgrade from the stock bbs rims though

Hi, I hope the answer for you is not too late. Any way, I am running the same problem as you do which you will need 3mm spacers that should clear the IS-F rear caliper by using 19X9 F-SPORT rear caliper with special F-SPORT wheel lug (BLACK)

Not a big proponent of running spacers, especially in inclement weather. Why not just go with something cheaper, that you can thrash?

I think you missed that the OP was looking at getting F-Sport wheels as WINTER wheels

i'm surprised they don't fit. I run lexus 18" Gspiders for winters (i think they are made by enkei?) without any spacers.

I know OP is looking at Fsports, but always good to hear other OEM options

Does the rears clear without the spacer too?

Could you post more pics of your winter wheel setup?

to use F-sport 19" rims on an ISF you will need 3mm spacers in the rear.

I have the 18" OEM Lexus "G Spider" wheels that fit just fine on my IS-F, that I use for the winter.

I would suggest you try those out.
